    A good laptop for work and play. One major sour point is the placement of the right-shift key. The default location (currently occupied by PgUp), is not where touch typists expect it to be. I had to go on the user forum and find a way to reprogram the PgUp key into the right-shift key.

    It's easy to remove from the enclosure. I put this drive into my PS4 slim and put the 500gb that came with the PS4 slim into this enclosure to use as an extra backup drive.

    I was looking for more storage, and this seems to be exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I needed. The price was right, it was in stock and I'm very satisfied. Thanx!

    I've had 2 of these for over a year, and have been happy with them. They aren't the fastest at writing data (max for me on usb 3.0 has been 80Mbps), but also not bad.

    This product doesnot offer any authentication software. Basic security is also not included. Near silent, and offers the promised read/ write speeds.

    Absolutely nothing to complain. Very fast access using on USB 3.0 and I can compare to well because I had a 2tb external drive on USB 2.0 and it took all eternity to copy loads of data.

    This does not have wifi so that's little bit inconvenient but other than that, it's pretty fast in creating backups. Plus you can backup your smartphone data with its app so it's great.

    Nothing has been better than Seagate hard drive for my experience. Has been almost 2 years using this hard drive but no issues at all. Solid and fast.

    The first gen Seagate go flex drives were fantastic. You could slap any adapter on them you wanted. This versatility is what made this line of drives such a huge success. I was shocked when I bought this drive to see that I can no longer put an adapter on the top if it. It is only USB 3!! What a disappointment.

    The packaging for this portable harddrive is well made. The drive is fairly priced for the capacity and will make a good addition to added space for editing video files

    Not much to say about it honestly, I mean its an external hard drive that stores data. I can't say anything bad about because it does its job and is very user friendly.

    Purchased this for my grandson to upgrade his PS4 only to discover that someone had already opened this device and swapped the 2tb hard drive with a 500Gb hard drive. Best Buy accepted the return and I purchased another one that was not altered. THANKS Best Buy for awesome service.

    I purchased this as a back up for my Mac computer. I use the "SuperDuper" software to make a clone of the computer for back up purposes and to use in case computer failure.
